Opened and glass decanted one hour before serving. Followed over another 1-2 hours. Dark garnet to purple color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Lovely nose of violets, berries, cherries, leather and plums. Flavors of dark berries, cherries, plums and currants. Medium acidity, medium tannins. full bodied. Drink with some air time or continue to hold. It's in the drinking window now. 94-95+?
Opened and splash decanted almost two hours before serving. Purple color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Big nose of currants, plums, blueberries and a mix of other dark fruits. Huge on the palate with flavors of currants, blueberries, cherries and berries. Medium acidity, fairly firm tannins, full bodied to the hilt. Can be drank now with a decant or probably should be held into the medium term before trying again. 95+ for the moment. We'll see where she heads.
Opened and served immediately. Yellow color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Big nose and palate of honey, lychee, a mix of rich tropical fruits with a dash of peach towards the finish. Bright acidity, full bodied. Think and unctuous on the palate without being cloying. Drink or hold. 96?
